Re: Case # U R19-0028 Integrity CDL Academy 4525 CR 13 (Colorado Blvd) Dacono, CO 80514 Weld County Planning Services Angela Snyder EXHIBIT S 1 April 15, 2019 We reside adjacent to 4525 WCR 13 (Parcel # 146712100032), and wish to submit comments and objections to the above -mentioned proposal. Please understand that we have resided here for 42 years, and believe that a person has the right, and freedom, to use and enjoy their property as they see fit, as long as it does not interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of the neighbor's property. That being said, we have the advantage of not having to surmise what this commercial enterprise will mean to the peaceful use of our property for we have endured the last year, and know precisely how it affects our life. I believe that the application is incorrect as it was submitted. From the information that 1 have, it lists the property as being 4525 WCR 13, indicating that this is the property that the company is seeking the exemption for, and will use. If you look at the attached map, you will quickly see that the back part of the property is inaccessible because it is blocked by the mobile home. The reality is that they are also using, and have been using, the adjacent property 4505 WCR 13, for access and as a driving range (that part of the property outlined in black). There is a constructed hard surface pad in the middle of this property that is used for vehicle inspection/testing. The question that I have is: If the company is only going to use (4525) as their permit application indicates how are they going to access the back field? And if they are going to use the land adjacent (4505) for access, testing, and training, as they have in the past, and as they do now, why is that not indicated in the permit application? I have 3 main objections that I would like to be resolved before the exemption is granted. 1. The devaluation of our property, and the peaceful use of our property: This land though it is not in a subdivision is residential, and we have enjoyed it as that. Now it is hard to enjoy our own backyard due to the excessive noise, fumes, and dust. 2. Traffic noise, and truck exhaust: A minimum of 2 trucks are driven back and forth in an area of approximately 2.5 acres, producing a tremendous amount of noise since they are driving over rough ground, and producing an excessive amount of exhaust since they are stopping and starting every 300 feet of travel. I would hope that the requirement would be the same as with any other commercial enterprise that uses vehicles in this way (warehouses, factories, airports etc.), that alternative fuel be used (CNC — Propane) as this would greatly reduce the amount of exhaust, in the summer the normal operating hours may be from 6 am to 9pm, 7 days a week. I would also request a 50 -foot buffer from our property, to facilitate reduction of noise, and exhaust. Page lof2 3. Dust: This is the most frustrating, and dangerous Healthwise. Due to the fact that the trucks drive upon bare ground (they have put down some `crushed asphalt' which they quickly grind into dust), this has resulted in the earth being dust, which every time there is but a breeze, we receive a dust cloud, which we breathe (if you want to see a short video clip contact me) I would hope that the company would be required to remedy this before the exemption is granted by either hard surfacing the driving lanes, some sort of windbreak (solid fence or wall) be installed surrounding this parcel, or using some other approved form of dust control, A final observation: Due to the close proximity to the city of Dacono (2500 feet), it would be common sense that this exemption be denied on the county level, and that the requester be directed to annex this property into the city of Dacono, and seek a change of zoning through their planning office. This would allow the city to address their concerns, and to do so considering their comprehensive plans, and restrictions. This has been how commercial enterprises have been handled in the recent past (Colorado National Speedway; IMI Motorsports; Blitz Paintball; Huge RV & Boat storage; Split Rail fence & supply; etc.). This would allow the City to address the traffic issues, that may require acceleration — deacceleration lanes, turn lanes etc. The city would be able to govern what occurs within their jurisdiction concerning environmental issues, and most important we would have a local voice. Please understand that we are not angry, or doing this out of spite, or have some grudge against them. We are frustrated that we cannot enjoy the peaceful use of our property, and with weather warming, we don't want a summer like last year. We appreciate your time, and are looking to you for direction in this matter. atmels, eri err —P James & Emma Blank 4535 Colorado Blvd Dacono, CO 80514 Jblank99@hotnnail_.com 720-469-2356 *Note: This correspondence and attachments are public and may be disseminated;.
